Tailgating

Something I absolutely hate while driving. There is no reason for it and it is very dangerous. Vicroads teaches to leave a 2 second gap from the car in front, but who can estimate 2 seconds while driving at 100km/hr? It is much better to use a rule of thumb which is 1 car length for every 10km/hr of speed, plus 50% more if the road is wet.

I live in Queensland, I'm not sure about the road rules but I'm pretty sure that they teach the same thing here. I hate when people tailgate while I'm in the car because sometime you have to stop suddenly for an animal, roadworks and/or something else. I have been hit in the ass so many times because of people are driving too close to me. It should be important to stay a fair distance away from the vehicle in front of you.
